Publication number: 20250218282Abstract: A system for correcting an attitude of a structure having one or more jacks affixed about the structure and operable to change the attitude of the structure. The system includes a remote device and a controller. The remote device includes a multi-axis digital sensor that is configured to measure an orientation of a selected portion of the structure at which the remote device is placed, and a processor configured to determine an adjustment of the one or more jacks based on the measurements received from the multi-axis digital sensor. The controller is in wireless communication with the remote device and configured to cause adjustment of the one or more jacks in order to change the attitude of the structure into a desired attitude based on data indicative of the adjustment received from the processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2025Publication date: July 3, 2025Inventors: Bernard F. GARCEAU, Leonard Douglas YODER

Publication number: 20250164125Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for evaporative cooling control. In one implementation, a humidity setpoint is received for a designated space, and at least one atmospheric condition of ambient air is received. The at least one atmospheric condition is measured using one or more ambient air sensors. A performance prediction of an evaporative cooler is generated by calculating a set of one or more predicted psychrometric properties of supply air leaving the evaporative cooler based on the at least one atmospheric condition. The humidity setpoint is compared to the set of one or more predicted psychrometric properties of the performance prediction in a setpoint comparison. A flow of fluid is controlled over evaporative media using one or more pumps of the evaporative cooler. The flow of the fluid is controlled based on the setpoint comparison such that the humidity setpoint is prevented from being exceeded.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 22, 2025Applicant: Western Mechanical Solutions, LLCInventors: Michael K. Fulton, Hal Douglas Yoder, II, Enrico J. Ressler

Patent number: 7161170Abstract: An InGaAs/InAlAs-based avalanche photodetector provides high gain and high bandwidth over a range of operating biases. A graded transition region alleviates the barrier to electron transport from the absorption region to the multiplication region when an operating bias is applied. The graded transition region is a graded bandgap material with a relatively wide bandwidth in the region closer to the multiplication region and a relatively narrow bandgap in the region closer to the absorption region. In another embodiment, a p-type dopant profile is introduced within the absorption layer to produce an electrostatic field which accelerates electrons towards the multiplication region. In another embodiment, a bi-level multiplication region with a wide bandgap ternary layer and a narrower bandgap quarternary layer is provided at an increased thickness to improve gain per unit length.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2003Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: TriQuint Technology Holding Co.Inventor: Paul Douglas Yoder
